In the era of modern air travel, despite its unparalleled speed, passengers are facing deteriorating conditions on board. Gradually, the free space on the plane was reduced, and hidden fees appeared for each service.

During commercial flights, the food no longer looks like a heavenly delight and rarely arouses appetite. However, according to Lifehacker, the following four tips will help you get a decent meal in the air.

Personal involvement

Before the flight, you can either eat or bring food on board. But to avoid expensive restaurant fares at the airport, remember that flight attendants are often willing to provide hot water. For example, you can cook instant noodles and get a hearty meal by adding sauces, oil, proteins, and vegetables. The same goes for instant oatmeal.

However, you should keep in mind that the water on an airplane is not the cleanest. If in doubt about the quality, it is better to use your own or ask if you can cook food in the microwave. For the same reason, avoid ordering coffee.

Choose spicy and savory dishes

Given that our taste buds are limited on an airplane, many of the dishes served seem bland and overly salty. Ordering spicy dishes can greatly enhance your experience: spices neutralize the effects of cabin pressure and add richness to the flavor. The Hindu food option is often the best choice due to the use of spices.

When given the choice, always opt for the more savory dishes, as the dry air on the plane and high cooking temperatures can make food less appetizing.

BYO condiments

You have the option to bring your condiments to transform a bland airline menu. Try hot sauce, your dressing, or spicy mustard from your carry-on bag. With your own hands, you can turn even the most ordinary meal into a real culinary experience.

When traveling by air, your sauce will become your best ally, turning ordinary dishes into real masterpieces.

Pre-order

Turn your flight into a pleasure by pre-ordering a special meal. Many airlines offer a variety of options, including vegan, vegetarian, and other specialized meals.

By ordering in advance, you not only ensure that your meals are delivered first and hot, but you can also enjoy high-quality, light meals that are gentle on your stomach. In addition, planning your meals in advance will allow you to prepare the appropriate condiments and enjoy a delicious and pre-planned travel dining experience.
